Yellahoose upgrades Olympus Asset Management's web and database serversYellahoose upgrades Olympus Asset Management's web and database servers

January 2008 - Yellahoose upgraded Olympus Asset Management's web and database server infrastructure to meet Olympus' increased work load. The servers were build and delivered by Helpful.com, a PC hardware support business based in Saco, Maine, and Yellahoose setup the operating system and migrated data from the old web and database servers.

The new servers provide Olympus with even higher processing power for their PostreSQL database and greater storage space for client and internal company documents. The servers run Debian Linux.

Yellahoose adds How Tos to website

January 2008 - Yellahoose added what'll be a growing collection of How Tos, geared towards web developers, web designers, programmers and system administrators.

Is it dumb to share this kind of knowledge?

Geez. Perhaps. But if a system administrator is having trouble firewalling Ubuntu Linux, it seems better to us that he or she is able to do that and move on to contributing positively to the Internet environment.

Enjoy!

Harvard Business School Venture Capital and Private Equity Club re-launch website

January 2008 - The Harvard Business School Venture Capital and Private Equity Club re-launched their website in preparation for the Club's 14th annual conference on February 2. Yellahoose developed an easy-to-use registration process for conference attendees last year. For this year's conference Yellahoose updated the registration process per the Club's requirements and assisted with finer technical aspects of the website's relaunch.



The Club's registration uses PHP and MySQL to process registrations and PayPal for payment processing. Included in this revision was a simple export of registrant information for manipulation or merge in MS Excel, Word or Access.

Yellahoose gives it up for art

December 2007 - Yellahoose literally gave it up for this December's First Friday Art Walk: Principal Jim Cradock gave Yellahoose's office space in The Congress Building over to his wife and photographer, Elizabeth Cradock. Beth is also participating in the art fair on December 8th from 11-6.
